This very simple ‘finishing’ detail forming the top edge to the main bar was installed using a stapling process.

The contractor on site prepared the arched ribs to the predefined forms. Blank panels were then staple-fixed into place providing a fast low-tech solution.

Patterning the panels off site was not required as the shape of the arcs only varied a slight amount, and therefore the amount of movement in the bias of the fabric compensated for this variation perfectly.
